Designed for adults and children as a family friendly workshop, this workshop is to create a multi-modal map drawing on their experiences of making a new home for themselves in different parts of UK. The participants will explore their memoryscapes of growing up and living in Ukraine by comparing their current place. The workshops are divided into two sessions, including clay modelling and the map drawing called TalkingMap. The two mapworks will be used to introduce those newly arrived in the UK to already established Ukrainian communities and help develop links between the two groups. Individual maps will be collected and incorporated into a large map, which will be exhibited at the end of
2023.
Participants: Ukrainian immigrants / newcomers / refugees in London (Preferably age + 8)
